BUCS Canoe Slalom is nearly here!

On the 14th and 15th of February (weekend of week 6) the club will be heading to the Tees Barrage for 

President Dan

and

I have no idea who these people are.

at the Tees Barrage.

Since this is a BUCS event the university subsidies much of the cost. Subject to sufficient numbers this should be a £10 weekend + your own food and drink. 

This is open to people of any experience and the weekend is a lot of fun. Signup will go online tonight after the pool session and entries will be sent off in a weeks time.

 

ps. If you went last year: We will be using a warmer bunkhouse.

Week 2 social-Laser Quest and Harvester

Posted 11y 9mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Gabs
Hello Hello

This Thursday the plan is to go to Laser Quest in Coventry, followed by a trip to Harvester for some food. And I'm sure there will be some people looking at going to the pub afterwards....

You can play as many or as few games at Laser Quest as you like. It's £4 for 1 game, £7 for 2, £9 for 3 and either £10 or £11 for 4 (I can't work it out from the website) but bring your student IDs!!

The plan is to meet on Thursday at the Arts Center bus stop at 6.30, or at Laser Quest at 7.00.

Please sign up if you want to come as we have to give an indication of numbers. Sign up is here (http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/298/).

If you want to just come to one part of the social or the other, then that's fine-I'm guessing we will be at Harvester at around 8.30 but call or text me before to check (07868750695). But please still sign up and comment below which part of the social you will be coming to.

Lots of love,
Gabs and Jeb end

P.s. Don't forget to buy your circling Pop tickets for weeks 4 and 9 as well as your Skool Dayz ticket NNNNOOOWWWW!!

Safety and Rescue Session

Posted 11y 9mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Gabs
How many of you have come on our trips oblivious to whatÔÇÖs going on around you?
Ever wondered how to lead a group?
Not got a clue what these ropes people carry are for?
We aim to answer these questions before the pool session on Monday of week 2.
The idea is to go through safety and rescue techniques when on a river, such as what the different dangers are; whatÔÇÖs the best way to lead down a river and how you use a throw line. I really urge everybody to come as we will be going through really important things!
It should be fun and hopefully we will have lots of ropes so we can practise in the dry before trying different things out a bit more realistically during the pool session and then for real on refreshers trip.
So come to H0.60, which is on the ground floor of the Humanities building, at 8.00 on Monday 13th(week 2) and bring your swimming stuff so we can head straight to the pool session afterwards.

Cardiff Uni Canoe Polo tournament!

Posted 11y 9mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: NJG
Hello!

Cardiff University have once again invited us to their weekend tournament on the 28th - 30th of March 2014. The more astute members here will probably notice that this puts it bang in the middle of our Easter break. However, it is well worth going to if you can as it gives you a chance to practice outside, on a full size pitch in a full tournament conditions before you get to BUCS a month after this.

The important things you need to know:

The accommodation is camping, so you need a sleeping bag and a roll mat. Let me, or Matt (Baby) Clough know if this is a problem as we can probably find one for you!

The tournament is open to the A team, the B team and the Ladies. Ladies I believe someone has already started sorting your team out?

The party: Noah's Ark themed party on the Saturday night

The cost: 
£23 per person - this is your camping ticket for Friday and Saturday nights, party ticket and food ticket for Saturday dinner.
There maybe a small cost per person to cover team entries, but it shouldn't be much more than £5. The more people we have per team, the cheaper it is for everyone!

Signup here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/296/ if you wish to go. Once you are signed up, please do not drop out unless you can get someone to take your place!

Thanks!

Minibus Drivers

Posted 11y 9mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Bilbo

Hello again!
Are you over 20+1 and have had a clean drivers licence for at least 2 years? Then you could drive the minibus!!

There's more information and a link to the application form here: http://warwicksport.warwick.ac.uk/officer/transport/minibusassessments/ 

There's a lecture this Thursday at 4:30 in SO.21, you have to attend a lecture before you can take the test. Even if you're not 21 yet you can go to the lecture and take the test when you've turned 21 (as long as its within 12 months of the lecture)

Being a minibus driver will mean you get priority on club trips, if it wasn't for the drivers then the trips couldnt go ahead!

Also if you're 20 and have a clean drivers licence then you could drive the van, ask one of the members of the exec about it as driving the van is great practice for taking on the minibus!

Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a nice christmas and didn't miss the canoe club too much. If you did then we're here to help, we're running our REFRESHERS trip the weekend of week 2 (Friday 17th Jan - Sunday 19th Jan) and will cost between £35 and £40.

This trip is suitable for everyone, if you came on every trip last term and want to improve or if you didn't get a chance to make any trips in term 1 and want to get involved then come and get involved!

Its taking place in Darmoor where we will be staying in a Scout Hut for the weekend and paddling the River Dart. If you're wanting to come on Scotland Tour you will need to have come on a trip with us, and this is one of the last (and best) opportunities before Easter!

Sign up will go live at 4pm on Wednesday week 1 (8th) and will close on Sunday (12th) and you can expect your confirmation email on Monday week 2. Its first come first serve as always so make sure you sign up quickly!

Lots of small welsh love

Montane Jackets

Posted 11y 11mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Dan
Hello All!

 
As some of you may have heard, every year we order montane jackets. Here is the link:http://www.montane.co.uk/range/men/extreme/extreme-smock
 
You can have them in multiple colours, red, black or green, and they will have your name on the front and the Warwick canoe logo on the back. As you can see they will be great for keeping warm on trips, and you will no longer have to feel jealous of older members swanning around in their jackets. 
 
The cost will be 79 pounds, which is less than last year, and quite cheap considering they cost over 100 quid normally. 
 
In order to get the cheaper deal, we need over ten people. So please get interested folks! If you want one of these there is a sign up online now at http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/295/. To select what size and colour you want please put that in the medical conditions section of the sign up. We are aiming to have the jackets arrive at some point next term so the order will be being placed at the end of week one next term so please make sure to sign up before then if you want one. 
 
See you all at christmas dinner! (and if not I wish you a happy studying session)
Meriel
